Four thousand years ago, the Babylonians invented multiplication. Last month, mathematicians perfected it. On March 18, two researchers described the fastest method ever discovered for multiplying two ...

A highly efficient multiplier algorithm doubles the speed and halves the power of existing designs, according to Automatic Parallel Designs, the Oxford start-up that developed it. AutoPD is already ...

In this method the smaller number is partitioned (broken down into tens and units). \({27}\) is broken down into \({10}\), \({10}\) and \({7}\). The method of partitioning into tens, simplifies the ...

In a digital world, why bother with analog? Well, sometimes it can still be the right solution. Take, for instance, the analog multiplier (see figure). At its simplest, it’s a circuit that leverages ...
